Nick Markakis

We, we had a great team then too.

Markakis got beaned by the Yankees, and I think there was-

Mm

... also a fan interference call too.

And he's one of them.

I mean, you look at Markakis, you look at Adam Jones, you look at Mike Mussina, you look at Jim Palmer, you look at Eddie Murray, Frank Robinson, Manny Machado, Jonathan Scope.

Dogs.

Right.

'Cause you hit a hard ground ball, but you're making a right turn, that wasn't that good of a swing.

How good was Nick Markakis?

The most consistent guy I've, uh, I've ever was able to be around.

Mm.

You said something to me the other night.

Can you just, 10 seconds on Nick Markakis, because you mentioned a name when I asked you.

Guys who are different, and the clubhouse absolutely is better because of them.

You spit out Nick Markakis as fast as I've heard you say anybody's name in the conversations we've ever had.

And I'm in it, too.

I mean, he was really good for coming in here in the middle of 16.

Come shooting out like a cannon.

Nick Markakis is a rookie at the time who was a cannon right field, dude.

He goes, grabs the ball, bare hand off the wall.

Now, as soon as he does it, I'm halfway to second, and I'm like, We got a situation right here.

I'm not saying that he didn't.

Uh, Nick Markakis really, uh, jumped out to me.

You know, if you wanna go to the Ravens, I can think of Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs.

But that was at such a different level that I've never seen before for, for a player coming back.

Is that [laughs] is that a sound? Where, where would that be from?

No, it'd be from the Nick Markakis booby grab.

The Nick Markakis booby grab, "This used to be a family show." You want me to just add that to the soundboard?

Yes.

Okay.

This guy's going to hit about 20 home runs, probably drive in about 75 runs.

The comp of Nick Markakis right now, pretty accurate.

And Nick Markakis was an all-star.

Now, can he be more? We'll see.

I think there was a stat going into today's game that the Mets were 21-17 with Bichette.
